Question 1

Will a powerflush damage an older system?

Accepted Answer

A powerflush is a standard, well-established maintenance procedure, but on a very old or already fragile system there is a small risk of exposing existing weak points. We always assess your system first and are upfront if we think a gentler approach is more appropriate.

Question 2

Which boiler brands do you install and recommend?

Accepted Answer

As a Baxi Approved Installer, we specialise in Baxi boilers and can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Baxi produce highly reliable, energy-efficient boilers with excellent value for money. We can also install other leading brands such as Worcester Bosch and Vaillant if required, and will recommend the best boiler for your home based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget rather than pushing a single brand.

Question 3

Why are my radiators cold at the bottom but hot at the top?

Accepted Answer

This usually means sludge or debris has settled at the bottom of the radiator, restricting water flow. A powerflush is typically the right fix rather than repeatedly bleeding it, which will not clear a sludge build-up.

Question 4

Do you give a fixed price before starting work in Thursden?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every central heating job is quoted as a fixed price once we have assessed your Thursden property, so you know the full cost before anything begins. There is no obligation to book after the quote.

Question 5

What should I do if I smell gas in my home?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas or suspect a leak, you should immediately open doors and windows to ventilate the area, turn off the gas supply at the meter (if safe to do so), avoid using any electrical switches, naked flames, or phones inside the property, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Once the emergency has been handled, contact us during working hours for any follow-up repair work.

Question 6

How long has Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating been trading?

Accepted Answer

We were founded in 2014, giving us 10+ years of experience looking after central heating systems, including many in and around Thursden. We also hold a 5.0 average from 18 genuine Google reviews.

Question 7

Do I always need a new boiler if some rooms stay cold?

Accepted Answer

No. Cold rooms and uneven radiators are often a central heating problem, not a boiler fault, and a powerflush, a new magnetic filter or some balancing is frequently a far cheaper fix. We always recommend the proportionate solution first.

Question 8

What is a powerflush and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A powerflush forces cleaning fluid through your heating system at high velocity to remove built-up sludge, rust and debris. If radiators run cold in patches, or the boiler makes banging or kettling noises, it is often the recommended first step before any other work.

Question 9

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating is Gas Safe registered, Register No. 640113, which you can verify directly on the Gas Safe Register. We only carry out central heating and gas work within that registration.

Question 10

How long does a boiler installation typically take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like combi boiler swap usually takes one working day. Converting from a conventional or system boiler to a combi, or fitting a new unvented cylinder alongside the installation, can take one to two days depending on the pipework involved. We confirm the expected timescale in your written quote.
